More about the book

The book provides a detailed analysis of Egypt's intervention in Yemen under President Gamal Abdel Nasser, utilizing declassified documents and original sources in multiple languages. It explores how Nasser's ambition to spread the Egyptian revolution contributed to significant geopolitical repercussions, damaging Egypt's relationships with Cold War powers, harming its reputation in the Arab world, and leading to economic decline. Ultimately, these factors culminated in a series of miscalculations that precipitated the 1967 war with Israel.
